Social Media Monitoring with Netvibes
In this episode, Netvibes CEO Freddy Mini (@freddymini) shares why a social media monitoring tool without integrated social media analytics is a hammer without a nail. Most of the Google Reader alternatives out there are focused on giving users social filters to discover the best content. But Netvibes has been there and done that. They’re more interested in helping users finding meaning through context.
Netvibes will give you their news reader for free. But if you want their analytics, you’ll have to pay. They are a business, after all, with a revenue model. But their free version is ad free, has been around for nearly 8 years and since it's the centerpoint of their freemium sales model, the company says they have no plans to lay it to rest.
Netvibes is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes.
Why am I so interested in Google Reader alternatives? Well my company ComplySocially has an online social media monitoring course based on Google Reader. And it needs to be updated. So I’m intently studying the major Google Reader alternatives to determine which ones to include in my course revision. Here’s my conversation with Cyril Moutran of Feedly last week and I'm talking to the founder of The Old Reader tomorrow.
What other Google Reader alternatives should I be looking at?
